Why Some Prayers Are Not or Will Not Be Answered
Many businesses failed not because it is not a great idea, but because they approach it wrongly. This is why there are business mentors. You either identify and patronise them or you struggle with the business.
Now, let's go to the caption properly. The biblical reason behind unanswered prayers is that it's prayed amiss, isn't it? This is why there are prophetic Intercessors, to which I'm privileged to be one.
How did I know this?
1. We sense situations before they happen —1 Samuel 9:9
2. We receive specific instructions in prayers —Romans 8:26
3. Our words carry spiritual authority —Luke 10:19
When we speak or pray or make prophetic declarations, they often manifest results. Our prayers do not return void because God has anointed our words with authority to influence destinies according to His will.
4. We often see dreams, visions, or insights about others —Joel 2:28
Prophetic intercessors frequently receive divine impressions through dreams, visions, or inner revelation. These insights guide our prayers and actions, enabling us to pray with accuracy and effect on behalf of others.
Interestingly, a prophetic Intercessor didn't choose to be one, but God orchestrated that Himself. In fact, a natural man or woman is selfish, as we are constantly seeking self: we like to focus all the prayers on what we desires for ourselves only, isn't it?
However, a prophetic Intercessor oftentimes receives utterances from the Holy Ghost. Whereas, majority of these utterances are prayer points that has alot to do with other people around us. It maybe for our neighbours, families, friends, or even our nations. The Holy Spirit just burst into tongues and praying with understanding, then we realise the prayer point isn't about us. This has manifested through me several times, woke up to realise the Holy Ghost has been praying for someone else.
This now brings me to another aspect I will love to share with you all.
You see, the reason why some people are stranded angelically is because their angel may have appeared to need their help. More often than not, people misjudge their angels due to familiarity. And by so doing, they are far away from the spiritual connections required to tap into what their angel is carrying in their favour. Some are so distant from their destiny helper because they thought it is the helper that needs help, not knowing they are the one that actually needs the help. May we not avoid our own destiny helper. Amen!
Take the widow of Zarephath for example. If she had the attitude of looking down on the Prophet, she would have ate her last meal and die. Rather, she welcomed the servant of God and the anointing upon the man of God multiplied the foods in her storehouse. I often preach this, God usually brings two helpers together. So, stop raising shoulders that you're helping anyone. They are helping you too, it is your pride that won't let you see it.
Listen, that great man of God that you're running after may not even be the one carrying your blessing in his hands. That is another twist to it. He's great no doubt, but may not be sent to you. “But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months… but unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Zarephath, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.” — Luke 4:25–26
There's a particular person sent to you. Drop your ego and identify them.
